Let org table support move region selected fields

Let org table support move region selected fields

Hi, recently I realized that table rows/columns movement does not
support region selection. Like following example.

| a | b | c |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |

When I use region select "5 | 6", and press "org-metaup [M-Up/Down]". It
does not work as expected move "5 | 6" up. Seems this command does not
region selection. Include "[M-Right/Left]" Is is possible to support
region selection so that partial movement will be great!

You can use `org-table-copy-region' and `org-table-paste-rectangle'
to copy and paste cells from a table.

Moving to cells at the same time, either up/down/left/right is not
supported, you can only move one cell or row at a time, not a region.

To select multiple cells vertically, you might also want to check
C-x SPC.

HTH,

Thanks, this solved my problem. BTW, my curious why those commands are
not actived with keybindings in org-mode?

They are, but within "special" commands -- see this in org.el:

(org-defkey org-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-x C-w") #'org-cut-special)
(org-defkey org-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-x M-w") #'org-copy-special)
(org-defkey org-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-x C-y") #'org-paste-special)

I see, thanks Bastien
